As the makeup of the Big 12 continues to grow and shift, so have Texas Tech's top rivals, including a familiar foe from a dissolved conference. Here's a look at the top five.

1. Texas in all forms

Texas Tech quarterback Patrick Mahomes led the Red Raiders to their first victory against the Longhorns in Austin since 1997 with a 48-45 win over Texas last season. The Red Raiders still have some catching-up to do, trailing 49-16 in the all-time series, but every little bit helps.

Longhorns' baseball may have earned a series victory over the Big 12 regular season champions in Lubbock, but coach Tim Tadlock's group did the same last season, taking two of three against Texas in Austin. Both teams also split in men's basketball for the second time in three seasons.

Though the architecture of the rivalry may change following Baylor's dismissal of Art Briles, the Bears' recent successes have been enough to warrant a rivalry.

The matchup between both teams has received enough attention to warrant moving the game to AT&T Stadium in Arlington. Baylor currently holds a one-game lead in the back-and-forth all-time series after a 63-35 victory last season. But the recent history has been one-sided as the Bears are currently on a five-game winning streak dating back to 2011.

The rivalry added a new layer for at least the next three seasons after the Bears flipped former four-star recruit Jarrett Stidham - a former Texas Tech commit - from the Red Raiders' 2015 recruiting class.

3. TCU because ... 82 points

No, you're not reading a basketball score.

The last time Texas Tech traveled to Fort Worth for a matchup against TCU, the Horned Frogs delivered an excruciating blowout victory. TCU sent Tech back to Lubbock following an 82-27 loss, in which the Horned Frogs piled on 45 points in the second half.

The Red Raiders had defeated the Horned Frogs in back-to-back matchups prior to the shell-shocking defeat, including a 56-53 triple overtime victory in Lubbock that ended on a touchdown pass from quarterback Seth Doege to former receiver Alex Torres. But Tech has not managed to defeat Gary Patterson's team in Big 12 play since the blowout defeat, including a last-minute loss in Lubbock during the 2015 season.

4. "Pistols firing"

Oklahoma State has dominated its football matchups against Texas Tech dating back to 2010. The Cowboys have won all six games by a combined score of 326-166.

But things have played out much differently in soccer.

Oklahoma State and Tech have tied three straight regular season matches in double overtime dating back to 2013. In 2012 the Red Raiders topped the Cowgirls, 2-0, in Big 12 play at the John Walker Soccer Complex in Lubbock. But Oklahoma State has the postseason advantage after ending Texas Tech's Big 12 postseason run in 2013 with a 1-nill victory.

Kingsbury correctly predicted the Razorbacks' next loss to Texas A&M after berating Bielema for comments made during a Texas high school coaches convention in 2015.

"... That's a program that prides themselves on being physical," Kingsbury said following a 35-24 victory in Fayetteville. "At the Texas high school coaches convention this summer [Bielema] stood up and said 'if you don't play with a fullback - we'll kick your ass, if you throw it 70 times a game - we'll kick your ass,' and he just got his ass kicked twice in a row and probably next week as well by A&M, so that did feel good."
